(A song about a group of warriors who succesfully raid an English town, which seems to be populated only by women and priests. The party is ambushed by the townsmen on the way back to the ships, and victory falls upon the plunderers, though not without loosing many good men. The warriors return to their homes after burying the dead, and here they feast to the sounds of music whilst drinking "the grave beer", which is the direct translation of the title)

Litteral English translation:
Spring came and thawed the ground
Winter became green meadows
Brave men assembled here
The battle was calling, so we sat sail

Hear! Hear!
Women bring us beer
Woman bring us meat
The wake beer we drink to our friends who died

England was seen in the dawn
Golden sand and the coast
By the shore we found a town
With church tower, there we went aground

In a town empty of men we pillaged
We took their belongings, gold and women
While the church’s bells rang with warnings

Hear! Hear!
Women bring us beer
Woman bring us meat
The wake beer we drink to our friends who died

On our way down to the ships, a farmer’s army came from the forest
They rushed forward with fork and scythe
Many men were slaughtered there

Bodies of friend were carried forward
A grand mound we made for them
Englishmen lay in heaps
The bodies became the ravens’ pray
The summer was ending
We returned to our home
With songs of praise and string music
We now sit and drink wake beer

Hear! Hear!
Women bring us beer
Woman bring us meat
The wake beer we drink to our friends who died
